Just to get the ball rolling here: we're already starting work on designs for the new flashcard system (which will feature prominently in our upcoming 2.1 update, and in the ABC dictionary to be released in mid-'04), and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how we could improve the current system.
Some things we're already planning (as mentioned in the 2.0.4 update e-mail):
* Ability to prioritize and filter flashcards based on the number of times you've gotten them correct.
* Better editing for custom cards (hopefully including some sort of Pinyin input).
* More advanced practice/review features, allowing you to randomly select a particular number of cards, weighted towards the cards you're having the most trouble with.
* Ability to import flashcards from a text-based word list, and to export the headwords (and only the words, I'm afraid, not the Pinyin or definitions, at least not in the Oxford) to a text file.
* Much much better stability (obviously).
I'd love to hear what you think of these, and of course any other ideas will be gladly received as well.
